Shipping Containers
A separate shipping container holds each system rack. The drive enclosure and controller node
enclosure shipping containers hold a maximum of 24 drives. Examine the delivered package for
obvious damage or signs of tampering and notify both Hewlett Packard Enterprise and the carrier
of any issues.

When the equipment arrives, you must verify that there is enough room to unload and unpack
the system.
The specific amount of space you will need to unpack the system is based on the dimensions of
the container, the ramp, and the room required to access the system so that it can be moved to
its placement destination.
NOTE: For more information about placement of the systems and reserving room for service
access, see the HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8000 Storage Site Planning Manual at

Acclimatization
Systems are shipped or stored at extreme temperatures and might require time to adjust to
operating temperatures before startup. The maximum acceptable rate of temperature change
for a non-operating system is 36° F/hour (20° C/hour). The system requires time to acclimatize
to new environmental conditions before being powered on. During that time, it is possible to
proceed with the physical installation of the system. However, the system might need at least 24
hours to acclimatize to a new environment prior to completing the full system installation. If
condensation is present even after the 24-hour acclimatization period, it is necessary to wait until
all condensation has evaporated before completing the power-on sequence.
